Visualization

The map allows you to see which party won in a specific state in the US presidential election. When you hover over a specific state, it allows you to see more accurate results in a given state. In addition clicking on a party’s name included in the legend will result in only the states in which it won remaining selected.

Conclusions

• We can see that the US has a two-party system because no party other than Democrats and Republicans received more than 5% in any state.
• Analysis of the data shows that the northwestern states and Hawaii favor Democrats more, while the southern and central states and Alaska favor Republicans more.
